In spring of 2018, I participated in the Amal Designathon, an event hosted by the Berkeley Haas AMENA Center that aimed to bridge these gaps in technological innovation. The Amal Designathon was a competition between UC Berkeley students interested in design and the MENA region, who worked in teams to develop the interface for Amal.
Amal, is a platform that proposes a legal software system and simple online platform through which women in MENA countries can learn more about the legal rights granted to them in their country of residence, and secure and submit essential documentation needed for basic rights.
Our team won 3rd place and a additional prize for best privacy and security.
